Hola,
Definitely is not something I use to read from magazines in Finland. Magazines are full of articles about drug wars and shit like that. Of course it's one part of Mexico, but it's not the whole truth, not even near.
For me Mexico is place where time to time I feel even safer than in Finland. That can be weird for some people. Maybe I have just been lucky and been in the right places in the right time. I was two weeks in Spain last summer and I got robbed two times during that time. I have been 4 months in Mexico and I haven't been robbed even once. I really recommend this country for people who wants to see some kind of mixture with latin culture, Mexico's own history and Southern culture. People are very nice and friendly here. Of course because you are not local, they see that and might try to use you or fuck you in the eye. Still most of the people I have met here are amazing people. I have had so many good experiences with my Mexican friends during my time here.
Okey then some weird stuff. Most of the places here they don't throw shit papers to toilet, they put them to trash. That might sometimes make toilet smell a bit. Still I prefer than the shit wholes on the ground in Thailand with water bucket and without toilet paper.
Food. Food is good and it's cheap. For example eating out side good meal with soup, pasta, beef with salad and dessert can easily be more less 2 - 3 euros. Expensive, I know.
In first months I use to eat just tacos on the street. It was cheap (one taco 35cents) and easy. This surround area of my house is full of taco restaurants. Then I notice that after a bit over one month it started to show that tacos are not maybe the most healthiest food in the world. I was going to the gym 4 times in a week and still my stomach was getting bigger.
Now I'm eating a bit healthier and not drinking coke (it's much more sugary here) with every meal. With hard training I finally start to be in condition of my life. Although I'm drinking kind of a lot alcohol.
You could say, at least I say that Mexico is like many countries in one country. There is so many things you can do or see inside of Mexico. For example Mexico City is huge. They have so much things here. Then you drive 1,5 hours away from the city and you get to this huge lake where you can do everything; water ski, water board, drive with jet-ski, parachute glide or just relax with perfect weather. Weather there is perfect and it's just 1,5 hours away from the Mexico City.
Okey first I had a bit problem with soap. They use those soap pieces in shower here. I had first problems to find these tube soaps that most of the people are using in Europe. Also most of the people here think that I'm from US and it's not nice. Some nice surprises also. I really start to like regaeton music here. Also, it might be a big surprise for most of the people, but yeah I have learn some salsa dancing and also bachata. I'm very proud of my self.
Downstairs there is few Mexican friends drinking beer, so you know what that means. I have to go and get my first "ensipurasu". If you want to know what that means, ask from some Finnish friend of yours, if you don't have Finnish friends. I can't say anything more than bad luck.
Un abrazo
Seppo
